Jamie's Meet & Greet!




Hello hot healthwives  and women of the world! My name is Jamie, and I am married to the hottest healthhusband (in my opinion) along with being a mother to the best healthbaby, Nicholas.

Alex and I met and got engaged the summer of 2012, were married by the fall that same year, and Nicholas came on the scene a year later in November 2013. Alex is a lawyer, technology/business entrepreneur and investment guru all wrapped into one!  Currently, we are living a very nomadic lifestyle.  Our life’s dreams are in the building processes as we continue to grow as people and a family each day. I truly feel lucky and blessed to have these wonderful men in my life.



Nicholas has his mother’s fierce attitude, and he definitely shows off that he inherited his father’s endless energy and enthusiasm for life! Our son was born at 7lbs 2oz and 21.5” long with a head full of hair! Nick has been a perfect addition to our lives. We could not love him more!

As for me, I LOVE being a mom! I have no idea what I am doing, and I am enjoying every minute of it! Fitness and nutrition are truly my "passions and hobbies". I have grown up in and around an athletic lifestyle, so eating right and working out come very natural to me. I am one of the most competitive people I know, besides Alex. In high school, I was a three sport athlete for all four years, so I do enjoy "winning". Haha. 

Allie is much more relaxed than I am when it comes to diet and exercise. I am very disciplined and regimented. She does a much better job of going with the flow. Routines, consistency, and commitment really sum up my general perspective on living a healthy lifestyle (can you hear my drill sergeant voice and whip cracking now?? haha). I truly believe that life is supposed to be fun, so live it up! Why not feel good and look good too?!





 
I am looking forward to getting to know all of you as Allie and I embark on this new adventure together! 

Please contact us if you have any questions for us individually or as a team. Your motivation and stories help us help you. :)

About Allie!

Hey new friends, my name is Allie.
I am the momma of 4 sweet little men (4, 3, 2, and 3 months) I am married to a sexy man, who actually happens to be the twin of Jamie’s husband. We clearly both have impeccable taste in men. 
I am luckily a stay at home mom and I also run my own photography business! A lot of you may be friends from my blog Table For More and I love you for joining me over here!!

I am so excited for this journey. In high school and college my body was in the best shape ever because I did gymnastics and cheerleading. I could eat whatever I wanted (literally my best friends and I would bake cakes and eat pizza and cake every Friday) and not ever have to run, tumbling was enough to trim my body into great shape. But now as I am getting closer to 30 and have had babies it's a whole new ballgame.

I have to admit upfront I have a lot of weaknesses that have gotten in the way from achieving my ideal body, first of all, my husband is a huge weakness for me, 4 babies in 4 years doesn't happen on it’s own. 
I have literally been pregnant the past 5 years with the wonderful up and down weight gain and loss. If I add up all my pregnancy weight gains it is pushing 200lbs so my weight has been all over the charts. By the time I would hit my normal weight again, I would be pregnant. So I guess we clearly need separate beds. Joking, joking. 
But I am excited to hopefully be taking a break from babies for awhile.

My other weaknesses include chocolate, frappucinos, pretty much every sweet known to man-kind. I really just LOVE food. I cannot stand eating salads which is why you will most likely find me drinking mine, in smoothie form. My rule as you will soon find is trying to eat healthy 80% of the time and then allowing the other 20% to splurge a little. I am lucky that I have pretty good genes for a fit “looking” body but I haven't seen muscle tone since my college years and I want to change that. I want to reclaim my body and be as healthy as I can be. This is a lifestyle change, and I refuse to diet and restrict the things that I love to eat because obviously I want to be happy
Happy and healthy. I am not very friendly if I don't have chocolate!


I am excited excited to share it all with you (yes even the before and after bikini pics) and show how I am putting my health first. I need to be healthy so I can keep up with these little men who run wild daily. It's not always easy to find time to workout but it is totally doable.

Can't wait to share it all with you guys!!!

What would you like most for me personally to blog about??

Check back tomorrow to learn all about Jamie!!

Welcome!!!

WELCOME! WELCOME! 

We are so excited for this new venture together! This first week is going to be all about getting to know us and our plans for this blog! Our goal is to create a community of women and encourage healthy living, a no judgement zone where you can come and get tips and recipes and learn from other women! The biggest thing is that we are ALL different and will never fit into the same mold, so rock out at your own pace and do what's best for your lifestyle. This is a one size fits all site! 

So a little about us.
You can clearly tell by the name of our blog that we kinda like reality tv.
But I am hoping you won't catch us flipping any tables or creating any drama.
We already had plenty of that in our first year of being family. 
We are a sister in law duo, married to identical twins.
We are moms to adorable BOYS. I (Allie) have 4 little men and Jamie has one little guy.
We are pretty sure that is the only gender we can create at this point!

Never in a million years did Jamie and I think we would be friends let alone entering a journey to healthier lives together (more to come on The Real Healthwives Dirt this week) but here we are joining together and loving every moment of it. This journey is not just about getting our bodies healthy but also every aspect of our lives in line with that. 

Jamie has been working out hard for 9 weeks and also throughout her pregnancy where I was somewhat of a slacker, and have not really worked out since before I had kids so you will see both angles. 
We are far from perfect and each have our struggles but working together and being accountable to each other makes it so much easier to achieve our goals.

What you can expect from us and this blog: 
Before and after pics of our journey.
Honesty about our struggles and triumphs in every aspect of our lives.
 (fitness, eating, marriage and friendships)
 Recipes for snacks, dinners and drinks.
Healthy options for kids and babies.
Guest bloggers with great advice for all shapes and sizes.
Fitness and workout tips for beginners and pros.
Workout challenges.
Our reviews on workouts.
Our favorite workout items and clothing.
Tips for women trying to fit it all in.
& lots more! 

We cannot wait for you to join us!!!
